Solution

The correct option is A Light
A light year is a unit of distance. The distance light travels in one year is known as light year. Speed of light is about 300,000 kilometers per second. So in one year, light can travel about 10 trillion kilometers. One light-year is equal to 9,500,000,000,000 kilometers. We calculate distances in the Milky Way in light years.
